The Predator is finally going to be the Protagonist

In the article Dan iterates that he still wants you to be “super-intimidated by” the Predator even as “there’s something there that touches you emotionally.” Honestly lookin forward to how he is going to cook with these ingredients, this is such a huge order to fulfill.

I can see the sisters, or at least one of them have some sort of team up with the Predator. Like a rocky one perhaps. Lots of potential here.

Hopefully he doesn’t look exactly the same as Feral. I didn’t mind the majority of his design, it’s just his lack of armor & his unmasked face that I wasn’t particularly fond of.

I hope this Predator actually wears a proper biomask at the very least

I see nothing that indicates Feral’s design. Especially when Dan said himself that he is looking into going back to the original design.

feral was badass, no doubt about that, but true i also want to lean back into the original design

Very slim plot details read as follows:

While traversing a wasteland, two sisters discover their horrifying past.

Dual plot is happening, I dig this.

EDIT: The idea, he says, came from a desire to “find another essential piece of cinema that does what Prey did spiritually — pushing the franchise’s boundaries, letting us root for a hero we rarely get to root for — but in a different way. And that transformed into this big idea of rooting for the Predator.”

I’m super curious about the antagonist. Something so bad that people are siding with the Predator for this. It almost echo’s to what Cameron did for the T-800 Terminator for Terminator 2. “How can I make one of the most coldest motherfuckers into something people can cry for”.

I don’t think we’ll be crying for him but I know we’ll think it’s going to be one of the most coldest mofos people will like to see on the big screen.

Yh Feral carried Prey a lot. He wasn’t perfect by any means but he was definitely the best thing about that movie.

I’m reaching extremely far & optimistically here, but I would absolutely kill for it to be a Bad Blood Predator or just another Predator at the very least that the main Protagonist Predator has to fight.

I know there’s a less than 1% chance of this being the case but if this did turn out to be what happens, I think we’d all be in for a treat.

I would be open to a Predator antagonist. I honestly wouldn’t even mind a Super Predator to come back only so that an og Predator can rip it’s head off.

If this is true, I’m definitely imagining something similar or close to Godzilla x Kong: New Empire.

I did a video reviewing the article for those who don’t wanna read it:

No, we want the Super Predators like Mr Black to come back

Or Feral, or something new like the NECA / McFarlane Predator designs like Scout or Glowing Yautja’s just to spitball

Yeah let’s be honest everyone loves a well-executed Predator Vs Predator fight.

Crucified Predator Vs Mr Black Predator is arguably the best fight scene in the entire franchise, I’d kill to see something like that again in a movie.

Yeah I don’t mind subspecies of Yautja but they don’t have to overdo it & introduce a new subspecies in every movie😂

Pretty much everyone loves the Super Predators or one of them at the very least & they are a fan favourite so if they were to bring back a subspecies of Yautja in any new/upcoming movies I think it should be them.

I fully agree just saying that there’s a lot of different Yautja’s to pull into a movie for a good story. I’m not sure if the Predator we are getting as the Protagonist IS a Yautja, but I’d be prepared knowing that with Dan at the helm, he’s gonna use the one he designed to be the face of HIS movies like Feral.

Again I’m mostly judging from the pictures that were leaked and seeing parallels in design.

Yeah I get what you mean dw.

But yeah from what small glimpses we’ve seen so far he does look most similar to Feral when compared to other Predator designs.

Which in my opinion, I’m not upset with. I actually like Feral’s design. I’m just curious where this could go. Now we have 10 more questions from the answer we were given.

“Touches you emotionally”

That is a very vague proposition.

The Predator in the original movie “touched me emotionally” when he took most of his gear to fight Dutch “in a fair fight”

The Predator in the Predator 2 movie “touched me emotionally” when he didn’t kill Leona because she was pregnant. And when he didn’t kill the child because he had a fake gun. The Elder predator “touched me emotionally” when he gave Harrigan a trophy.

The Predator in AvP “touched me emotionally” when he recruited Alexa as an ally.

The Predator in Predators (JH) “touched me emotionally” when he agreed to help Royce

Shall I continue?

“touched me emotionally” doesn’t mean shit. Sorry to burst all your Predator hero fantasies. This is Hollywood. You shouldn’t expect any less other than The Predator will be a villain or, at most, like in the AvP movies, a poor excuse of an anti-hero.

@Anonymous.Voorhees13 I really wanna talk about this photo, looking at it. Something seems off from the suit / armor to the head design.
